Özet:

This thesis proposes algorithms to construct various nanosystems such as nanotori, nanogear and nanojunctions based on graphite type structures, exploiting the observed pentagonal and heptagonal defects. These produced systems are then simulated to test for their thermal stability and for their electronic properties. A brief review of the methods used is also included.
